Her Name Is Han is a trendy Koreatown gem serving homestyle Korean comfort food and house-infused soju in a rustic-modern setting that's hard to resist.
"Nostalgic Korean home cooking delivered with a sense of style from the prolific Hand Hospitality group, it’s an early example and still one of the best of what the group has opened in the last few years." - Eater Staff
"One of the best introductions to non-barbecue Korean food in New York City, Her Name is Han excels in traditional comfort food dishes and stews, like the kind found in Seoul. Thanks to the nostalgia factor and relative novelty in NY, Han attracts a younger crowd of Koreans and Americans who’ve had their fill of KBBQ. Try the yangnyeom gejang (a spicy raw crab), tofu with black sesame, or fried chicken." - Sam Kim
"Choose between a tight edit of Korean comfort food meals, comprised of a main like spicy raw blue crab, really excellent bulgogi, or braised short rib. It’s served alongside an assortment of side dishes like kimchi, yuzu-dressed cucumber salad, and bright pink potato salad. To truly feel OOO, try one of the affordable, prettily garnished cocktails or a glass of sowuju (fruit, like kiwi or grapefruit, infused with soju for over three months). Each midday spread is under $20; just note that it’s cash-only at lunchtime in the hip, wood- and brick-filled Koreatown space." - Alexandra Ilyashov
"Her Name is Han serves the type of Korean comfort food that you want to eat in your needs-to-be-laundered loungewear while a bomb cyclone is happening outside. We like that the rice cakes aren’t drowning in sauce, and the shrimp pancake is uniformly crisp, but the dish that’ll really raise your body temperature a few degrees is the fire engine-red seafood stew with plump pork dumplings. This restaurant is ideal for drinking and ordering as you go in the space that looks part-tavern (wood beams, deer antlers) and part-movie set (huge spotlights)." - bryan kim, kenny yang
"Whether you’re looking for Korean BBQ, hot pot, or soju, Her Name Is Han has you covered. Find all of that and more in their online delivery and takeout menu." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, bryan kim, arden shore, matt tervooren
